Charles Fiske Obituary

Charles Leonard Fiske Born in Roundup, Montana, Jan. 9, 1941. He was welcomed by his beloved mother into heaven on Dec. 30, 2005. He will be sadly missed by his devoted father, Leonard (Winifred), his sister, Sharon (Jerry), his loving wife of 44 years, Marjorie, and their three sons, Dale, Cary (Susann), and Roy. He has four grandchildren: Karrie-Ann, Tyler, Brandon, Katie, and a new born great- grandson, Colby. All yearn for him and remember him fondly. Charles lived most of his life in Western Washington. Working as a refrigeration engineer for 30 years and a hardware store owner for 7, he provided for his growing family. He loved working with his hands and had a garage and workshop to prove it. His passions were country music, which he performed in his youth, and anything having to do with the Old West. He always said it was 'the Montana in him'. A memorial service will be held Thursday, January 12th 2006 at Orting United Methodist Church in Orting, WA at 11am. A reception will follow.

My grandfather was and will always be an important figure in my life. He cast a huge shadow with his giant frame and I know it will always be over me. I am greatful for the time I got to spend next to him on Christmas eve and of the times I got to be on his lap driving his riding lawnmower. He is missed already but a pleasent reunion surely awaits us someday.

Chuck was a great neighbor and I always loved going over to his house to hang out with Dale and Roy. He is sorely missed by me already, as I think of his booming voice and genuine laugh. Nikki's and my heart go out to his family and we know that he is with our Lord. Our thoughts and prayers are to you all. With loving warmth and thoughts, Eric and Nikki Richards

Dear Irene & Boys, Uncle Leonard, Aunt Winifred and Sharon,

How saddened we are at the loss of Chuck. We so enjoyed having him living here on the ranch. He was certainly a special person with a wonderful personality surpassed by none. His sense of humor will always be remembered. We will always remember Chuck with his cowboy hat and western boots. He was a treasured cousin and friend.

May our Lord comfort our families in this loss.
